In this Public Health Voices webinar, our expert panel explores the issue of intersectionality and gendered approaches to Inclusion Health research and services.
听
Inclusion health is an approach to addressing the inequities faced by people who are socially excluded, and who typically experience multiple overlapping risk factors for poor health, such as poverty, violence and complex trauma. Structural violence disproportionately impacts women, who have higher levels of experience of poverty and personal violence. Join us as we explore why intersectional approaches are needed to understand how gender identity shapes the experiences and barriers women encounter in access to services.

It will give practical examples of policies that have been shown to help, and how research can be used to inform policy and practice.

As a society, we are facing unprecedented mental health challenges, and it is widely accepted that our current mental health systems are insufficient to tackle the demand. This presentation will explore the evidence base on how the arts can support in the treatment of mental illness and help to reduce the incidence and prevalence of mental health conditions. It will explore the key psychological, biological, social and behavioural mechanisms through which these effects are achieved and consider how schemes such as Social Prescribing could help to bring arts and cultural engagement to populations who stand to benefit the most.
